Vegas & Pete - The reason why I love you

II - 19 I believe in you

Pete

Dring dring

- Hello?

- Have you been calling me ? Is everything okay Pete ?

We had been apart for only a few hours, but Vegas sounded strained on the phone. I could tell from his voice how exhausted he was. I called him because Macau had disappeared a few hours ago, but I couldn't help but feel like I was adding another problem to what he already had on his plate.

- Yes everything is fine, I just wanted to check up on you. You know how I get anxious when you're not around.

- Pete my little love bubble I miss you so much!!! I'm sure you're so sad right now, so lonely, so abandoned by everyone. But don't worry. There are so many people all around you who believe you are a wonderful person, first me. So hold on! Do not pay attention to what the people around you say. You and I are the only ones that matter and we will soon be together again.

- Come back soon.

- Give everyone a kiss for me, I love you.

Vegas

The minor house was in an uproar, everyone getting ready to launch the attack at any moment.

The guards were all waiting for Porsche to make a decision and right now I was trying to prevent the worst.

- If we attack with too many guards, things will go wrong. They probably already know about our attack and they must be waiting for us.

- When you decided to join me I already figured out how I was going to handle the situation, so why are you stopping me now?

- That's not my point. I don't want our people to be shot like rabbits. You're willing to sacrifice them all just to prove a point to Kinn ? You are their boss, you can't hide behind them to let them take the fall for you. According to our code of honor, the strong one must lead the men.

- I don't like to shirk my duties, but I'm scared to death that my mother, who has been through so much, might be beaten, tortured or even worse.

- I get it, but just put your trust in me. I got more experience than you do with this kind of work. My opinion is that we should discreetly scout the place to have an accurate idea about the forces involved. I will go there quietly and once I'm back we'll decide on the best way to act.

- I do trust you but I will accompany you, this is non-negotiable.

- Okay, let's go as soon as possible. We'd better disguise ourselves so as not to be recognized.

New

Since a few hours New, the bodyguard dressed to the nines had given way to New the junkie who was wandering drugged on the streets.

So far, luck had been with me, I had reached the run-down house used as a hideout by the blackjackets without running into old encounters.

The guards at the entrance had let me go through to get drugs. As soon as I was free, I took the corridor that led to the headquarters of Aat and his thugs.

As I walked past a door I had a moment of recoil as I recognized Aat. He was in intense talk with a trashy woman who was gesturing wildly with her arms. The discussion was anything but friendly yet I could not hear their words. Uncertain whether it was relevant to our case, I simply pulled out my phone and took picture of them, then left before I was spotted.

I then mingled in the conversations but I couldn't find anything useful. Finally I left the place before awakening the attention. The streets were filled with junkies injecting themselves as soon as they left the house or some others who were already in the middle of a trance.

I lay down against a closed storefront which had a great unobstructed view over the front of the house and decided to play dead.

This place was truly terrible! To think that I had been one of those losers who were already looking like the living dead. I was so grateful to life for having a job that I was excited about, a family that cherished me and a man to love.

It's true that he could be a bit of a spoiled brat at times. He would get angry when he didn't get what he wanted, he often sulked and he had a nasty habit of teasing others. But I could easily forget everything, because when I held him in my arms, bad temper, anxieties or shyness all disappeared in our hugs and kisses.

As I thought about him, my cheeks turned red. Because og the fantasy of our nights of love mixed with the smell of drugs I thought that I was a little bit high. I suddenly saw him walk by me. He was wearing a bum's outfit but it was badly done and it would only be a matter of minutes before someone went to report him to the black vests.

I got up, grabbed his arm and pushed him into the first alley that came along.

- What the hell are you doing! Do you want to get killed or what!

As an answer he put his arms around my neck and hugged me tightly.

- I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but I was too afraid to see you hanging around in this neighborhood. And if you were to fall for it again!

- You can't hang around here, you'll get caught. You really want to put the family in more trouble than they are already in.

- Sorry, I had no idea this place was so bad. I'm going home but you're coming with me.

- Sorry, I didn't know this place was so bad. I'm going home but you're coming with me.

As he grabbed my sleeve, I looked back as I felt danger closing in. A giant man with an evil look was blocking the way to the street.

- So my lovelies, did you get lost?

Kid, Aat's right-hand man, we were in trouble.
